Hi,
The importance of the finding on chest X-ray of opacities in the upper lobes of the lungs depends on your symptoms (for example, weight loss, chronic cough, night sweats), history, and physical findings. And whether the opacities are old or new.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Arnold Zedd,
